Just 2 years to go on the house, then it's a new MB AMG SLK55...which by then may be an SLK63! *fingers crossed*...that's the realistic part.






Unrealistic? This one...and Aston Martin Vanquish S with a 6.0L V12 and 520hp

1966 GTO with a LS1 swap and a mangnacharger with a 6 speed.

Or a C5 Vette with twin turbos and around 1000whp with an Automatic racing trans. That would be a street/strip car. The GTO would be too but the C5 would be able to run single digit times.

Neither will probaly happen but there is a chance. It would have to be a project over a few years.

http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/04/frames.htm

scroll down on the right and watch both videos (especially the upper one from topgear TV show with jeremy clarkson) it sports 600 hp per 2000 lbs....you do the math. 0-100 in 6.3 seconds stock and 100-0 in 3.8 .....so it set the fastest ever 0-100-0 for a prodution vehicle for just over 10 seconds. Thats not even what the car is made for though. OH and btw they are going to (may already be) available in the USA from a outsourced production company that makes their own cars also (experienced) and they are around $45000 with the 300hp setup!

I have to agree with this one. Never thought I'd have an Evo. In the future, I'd love to get an old Porche and totally restore it.
